Output notes
Check these points before you rely on the output.
3ds Max files usually need extra handling before FBX handoff. Use this page to review the format fit first.
Geometry, hierarchy, and some animation structures may transfer when validated.
Rig behavior and advanced materials can still vary by importer implementation.
Preservation
Check these points before relying on materials, UVs, animation, or rig data.
Materials
Material assignments may survive when the source pipeline maps cleanly into FBX conventions. Expect cleanup on the final export.
UV
UV coordinates are commonly expected to transfer in a validated FBX export workflow. Check it on a sample file first.
Animation
Animation may be preserved, but only when the source workflow is explicitly validated. Treat it as scene-specific.
Rig
Rig and hierarchy data can be possible in FBX-oriented workflows, though this should never be implied without verification. Treat it as scene-specific.
